Immediately Dangerous To Life or Health (IDLH) Values
Table of IDLH Values
Since the development of the original IDLH values in the 1970s and their subsequent revision in 1994, NIOSH has continued to review relevant scientific data and conduct research on methods for developing IDLH values. This has led to the development of Current Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) 66: Derivation of Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) [NIOSH 2014-100].
It is the goal of NIOSH to re-evaluate all IDLH values included in the list below using the guidelines and criteria included in CIB 66. Until this occurs, this list contains IDLH values based on both the 1994 revised criteria and CIB 66 [NIOSH 2014-100]. It is important to note which criteria was applied to develop a specific IDLH value. When a chemical entry contains more than one IDLH value, the IDLH value based on CIB 66 should be treated as current NIOSH policy.
